The Lead Analyst plays a crucial role in enabling AI applications such as Claude and ChatGPT across the organization, including configuring and monitoring AI agents, building semantic views, and managing data shares between Snowflake accounts. This person is also responsible for activating and testing Snowflake Private Preview capabilities, helping the team stay ahead of platform innovation, and bringing new capabilities into production.

  • Monitors platform health, performance and cost, tuning workloads as needed to meet business SLAs.
  • Audits and remediates security issues.
  • Manages availability between Snowflake accounts and partner platforms, whether cloud or on-prem.
  • Activates, tests, and evaluates Snowflake Private Preview capabilities (e.g., Agent / CoWork / Semantic enhancements, new ingestion or compute features, etc.) ahead of general availability, documenting findings and recommending adoption strategies.

Data Pipeline & Ingestion Engineering

  • Builds and maintains transformation workflows across the Foundation, Processed, and Curated layers of the enterprise data warehouse.
  • Monitors pipeline and job performance, troubleshoots failures, and resolves data quality or timeliness issues.
  • Partners with source system owners and corporate teams to onboard new data sources and define ingestion standards.
  • Documents pipeline design, dependencies, and data lineage to support governance and troubleshooting.

AI & Agent Enablement

  • Supports enablement, testing, and rollout of AI applications and copilots (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT/Copilot, Snowflake Cortex Agents) across the analytics organization.
  • Helps set up, configure, and monitor agents (e.g., Executive Agent, BI Agent, Ontology Agent), including MCP server-based agent-to-agent integrations.
  • Partners with the broader data architecture team on context-layer efforts (ontology, knowledge graph) so agents can reliably query curated business data.

Curate Data & Semantic Views

  • Builds and maintains curated data sets and business data models that feed dashboards, semantic views, and downstream agents.
  • Designs and maintains Semantic Views that support Cortex Analyst and other AI/BI consumption layers.
  • Partners with BI and analytics teams (Sigma, Tableau) to ensure the curated layer meets reporting and self-service needs.
  • Reviews data for accuracy and production-readiness prior to release to business users and agents.

Organizational Support & Enablement

  • Acts as a go-to resource across the Data & Analytics team for Snowflake capabilities, new feature adoption, and platform best practices.
  • Documents platform architecture, runbooks, and how-to guides for the team and business users.
  • Trains team members and business users on new tools, features, and capabilities relevant to their needs.

Strategic Prioritization & Ownership

  • Translates business asks into clear priorities the team can act on.
  • Balances short-term demands with long-term priorities.
  • Knows when to escalate and when to resolve issues independently.
  • Embraces change and helps the team navigate ambiguity with confidence.
  • Takes initiative and accountability, following through on commitments.
  • Fosters a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field, with a Master’s Degree preferred

  • 1+ years leading complex projects or initiatives
  • Hands-on experience with a multi-account Snowflake architecture
  • Strong SQL programming skills
  • Experience with data ingestion and ETL/ELT tools, e.g. Fivetran/HVR, Matillion, dbt, Coalesce, Postman
  • Familiarity with AI/LLM enablement and tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Github Copilot, Snowflake Cortex Code
  • Experience with BI and visualization tools like Tableau or Sigma is a plus
  • Understanding of agentic architectures, including MCP servers and agent-to-agent communication, is a plus
  • Snowflake certification (SnowPro Core or Advanced) a strong plus
  • Familiarity with agile development practices
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with a focus on practical problem-solving within constraints
  • Strong technical documentation skills

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
